Good broadband provider [UK]

So BT have decided that they're going to introduce download
limits of 15GB a month on their service. For obvious reasons
I can't be doing with this and I refuse to pay £2 for every
extra GB I download. So I'm looking for a good broadband
provider in the UK who doesn't have a download limit.
I've checked blueyonder and pipex and lo and behold they're
not available in my area. Woop de fucking do!

I've checked Bulldog and they're available in my area but I
have no idea how good they are. 1Meg access is what I want
yo!

Any help would be great.

Digital TV is off them is fuckin wack, but the internet
service is pretty okay. Although something tells me you've
already tried them.

At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
they must have took me for a fool
when they put me in a school
'cause the teacher knew I had the funk

put a big arse wireless antennae on your roof, chances are
somebody in your area has a wireless access point that's
completely open, so you can use their internet!

...hey, i'm being serious

Lots of old films and online gaming. Consider that a songle
film is generally about 700 meg. That's quite a large chunk
of your transfer in one hit.

xf: I think I'll prowl the area around me with netstumbler
and see if I can :D

ntl have a 1.5meg connection but there is a limit

I think it's 1gig per day, but there's no charge if you go
over, it's more of a guide line than a cap
